Hey there..... i also diclocated mine about a month and a half ago... but my knee cap was a full 90 degrees to the sde it was so gross!!! and i was in gym class........ they took me to the hospital and of course the x-ray machine was broken..... so i waited more then five whole hours with it out of place ... my doctor didnt say much either but i was in bed for two days before returning to school on croutches and with a full knee brace (it was from like a few inches above my knee to my lower shin) .. and i kept it on at al times unless i was lying down or sleeping..... i used croutches and the brace for about a month (but i didnt always use the croutches at home....... slowly got used to walking with just the brace at home) then a week just croutches and useing it alitle more all the time....

Hello, I suffered from a patella dislocation about a 9 days ago. It was in my right leg and it was really out of place, maybe some 70ยบ out of place. I went to the hospital, I took some x-rays and all the normal procedure. The Doctor put my patella back on place, but she didn't talk too much and I didn't understood well how to do in the recovery period. I have to go back in the 26th of this month to check. She told me that after 5 days I coul put my feet in the ground. I'm with crutches(those 2 auxiliary legs, this was the translation that I found in the net, but I think you already understood what i'm talking about). But I didn't understood what she really meant with that. So my question is: I can put my feet in the ground but it's not good to do it , and Im must remain as quiet as possible??? I should put my feet in the ground and try to walk and do some more movements, than to be in bed all day??? like starting to walk for example.
I hope you undestood my question and sorry for my bad/not so good english. I'm really tired of being quiet and laied down in bed almost all day. Thank you very much Ricardo
